This study aims to demonstrate the correlations between academicians’ organisational commitment and their intention to resign from their job. For this purpose, first the concepts of organisational commitment and quitting the job were considered within the framework of relevant literature, and then hypotheses for the correlations were developed.276 lecturers in total 198 of whom were teaching in faculties or departments of sport sciences and 78 of whom were teaching in foundation universities were included in this study.A personal information form in addition to Turnover Intention Scale developed by Rosin and Korabick (1995) and adapted into Turkish by Tanrıöver (2005), and Organisational Commitment Scale developed by Meyer and Allen (1997) and adapted into Turkish by Varol (2010) were used for our purposes.In conclusion, it was found that academicians’ intention to quit their job was low but their organisational commitment levels were high and that they had emotional commitment most—which was followed by normative commitment and continuance commitment. Lecturers employed in foundation universities had higher levels of intention to quit their job than those employed in state universities. Lecturers working in state universities had higher levels of emotional commitment than those working in foundation universities. It was also found that lecturers’ rate of quitting the job was reduced as their levels of emotional and normative commitment increased in both state and foundation universities.

Aim: This research was conducted to determine the relationship between organizational cynicism and organizational commitment of the nurses Method: This study was conducted in a descriptive -correlational design. “Personal Information Form, Organizational Cynicism Scale (OCS) and Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ)” were used as the data collection tools. The research was conducted by the researcher by applying a questionnaire to 280 nurses working in state hospitals. Data were analysed using SPSS 23.0 package program, independent Student’s t-test, One-Way ANOVA, Mann- Whitney U, Kruskal- Wallis, Pearson and Spearman correlation tests. Results: It was determined that there was a significant difference as a result of the comparisons made with the variables of nurses’ feeling comfortable in their workplaces, the unit in which they were working and their feeling of belonging to their workplace (p<,05). The mean total score of the Organizational Cynicism scale was 37.98±10.71, and the Organizational Commitment scale was 52.60±8.40. A relationship was determined between the organizational cynicism scale total score and affective, continuance and normative commitment subdimensiions in the organizational commitment scale. Conclusion: The results of the study revealed that nurses who were feeling comfortable in their workplaces and had feeling of belonging to their workplaces had lower levels of organizational cynicism, while nurses who were working in the intensive care units had higher levels of organizational cynicism. The organizational commitment levels of the nurses working in the operating room, feeling comfortable in their workplaces, and feeling of belonging to their workplaces were relatively higher. A negative relationship was found between the organizational cynicism scale total score and affective and continuance commitment subscales. On the other hand, a weak positive relationship was found between the organizational cynicism scale total score and normative commitment.

The influence of leadership style on employee commitment for the organisation has not been adequately addressed in the Parastatal companies in South Africa. A need therefore exists for greater understanding of the relationship between the leadership style and work-related attitudes (such as employee commitment) in order to develop a leadership style that will encourage organisational commitment. This study examined the relationship between leadership style, and employee commitment. Managers and their subordinates participated in the study. 348 questionnaires were distributed, 58 to managers and 290 to their subordinates. Final data for analysis included responses from 197 participants (34 managers, and 163 subordinates). 163 respondents rated their managers leadership behaviour on Bass and Avolios (1997) multi-factor leadership questionnaire (MLQ) and Meyer and Allens (1997) organisational commitment questionnaire (OCQ). A series of statistical procedures were followed to analyse the data. Hypotheses were tested on two levels. First, correlations among managers and subordinates with regard to the MLQ, and then the MLQ versus the OCQ. Results revealed a weak positive yet significant relationship between transformational leadership and affective commitment, normative commitment and continuance commitment. Transactional leadership had a weak but significant positive correlation with normative commitment, and Laissez-faire results indicated a weak negative yet significant correlation to affective commitment and normative commitment. Overall findings from this study suggest that leadership styles do play important roles in determining levels of affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment. This study contributes to the bank of findings relating to the development of leadership and organisational commitment, not only in South Africa, but within the Parastatal organisations in particular.

The automotive industry is regarded as being critical to the economic growth of South Africa (Horn, 2007). As the achievement of organisational goals occurs largely through the performance of committed human resources (Nijhof, De Jong & Beukhof, 1998), the purpose of the present study was to gain a deeper understanding of the differences in organisational commitment amongst different language groups (language being a proxy of culture) of vehicle sales staff at a large South African motor retailer.The unit of analysis for the study was individual employees (n=314) and the data were collected through the administration of the TCM survey questionnaire developed by Allen and Meyer (1990) to measure affective, normative and continuance commitment. The majority of respondents (36,90%) were African language speakers, 32,30% were English language speakers and 3,60% were Afrikaans language speakers.Results indicate that African language respondents scored significantly lower on normative commitment than did either the Afrikaans or English respondents. No significant differences in normative commitment were observed between the Afrikaans and English respondents.Given the strategic importance of the automotive industry to the South African economy, this finding could alert managers to the necessity of understanding the reasons for the lower normative commitment of the African language group (compared to the Afrikaans and English speakers) and, accordingly, to devise ways of increasing normative commitment with this group.

It is thought that the sustainability of organizations is closely related to the fact that management levels have up-to-date knowledge specific to their respective fields and their ability to conduct their activities in the best possible way. It is believed that what creates the power of this focal point is the sense of belonging to the institutions. The aim of this study is to determine the level of organizational commitment of managers in sports clubs through seven different variables. In this study, the Meyer–Allen (1984) organizational commitment scale was used. The translation of this scale was compared to several scale translations, and no difference in meaning was observed. The scale consists of 18 questions with three sub-dimensions, namely emotional commitment, continuity dependence, and normative commitment. Questions 1–6 were related to emotional commitment, 7–12 dealt with continuation commitment, and 13–18 dealt with normative commitment. The scale is structured according to 5-point Likert scale. While preparing the personal information, support was provided by psychosocial academicians of sports. The study sample involved eleven sport managers from the Super League clubs, eleven from the first league teams, nine from the second league teams, nine from the third league teams, fifteen from the Regional Amateur League (RAL) league teams, and nineteen from the amateur sports clubs. Thus, a total of 74 sports managers participated in the survey. The surveys were constructed in the sports club buildings and in the presence of the managers. The questionnaires were conducted by the footballers who were serving in the sampled clubs. The SPSS 21 package program was used to analyze the data obtained. The Explore test, Mann–Whitney U test, and the Kruskal–Wallis test were employed for the analyses of the variables. At the end of these analyses it is understood that the age of the employees in the clubs, the term of duty, the wages they receive and the age of the club do not significantly affect the level of organizational commitment. Besides, It has been seen that the league, where the club is located, the level of duty of the managers, and having a regular time in the club affect the level of organizational commitment.

This paper describes a research project that aims to determine the level of civil servants’ organisational commitment and the factors associated with it. The instruments used to measure organisational commitment, empowerment, job characteristics, and organisational communication were adapted from Allen and Meyer (1990), Spreitzer (1995), Hackman and Oldham (1975), and Downs and Hazen (1977). The findings demonstrated that civil servants appeared to have a higher level of affective commitment with mean value of 3.88 compared to continuance 3.58 and normative commitment 2.92. The study also found that civil servants were psychologically empowered in the department with mean value of 3.71, had experienced a variable opportunity in job with mean 3.51 and were reported to be satisfied with the existing communication in the department with mean value of 3.68. Research findings also showed that there is a correlation between organisational commitment (affective, continuance, and normative commitment) with empowerment, job characteristics, and organisational communication variables. The stepwise regression exhibited that empowerment variable is the most dominant predictor of civil servants’ organisational commitment. Meanwhile, organisational communication variable appeared to be the most significant factor to influence civil servants’ affective commitment. Civil servants with continuance commitment were found to be best predicted by empowerment variable. Finally, civil servants with normative commitment tend to be mostly influenced by job characteristics variable.

This paper aims to study the impact of boundaryless career attitude (organisational mobility preference and boundaryless mindset) on organisational commitment (affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment). Specifically, we predicted that employees who demonstrate a high boundaryless career attitude would be less committed to their employers. A sample of 132 public accountants was drawn from 15 accounting firms in Penang. A three-stage sampling was used in this study started with cluster sampling, followed by systematic sampling, and finally convenience sampling. Multiple regression analysis was used in the study and the results shown that organisational mobility preference was significantly negatively related to affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment. It also revealed that boundaryless mindset was significantly negatively related only to continuance commitment. Theoretically, the findings mainly supported the findings by Briscoe and Finkelstein (2009). Practically, the findings implied that practitioners of accounting firms should implement policies to cater to the needs of the boundaryless career actors by providing career relevant skills, training, meaningful jobs, and opportunities for secondment. In conclusion, this research revealed the growing importance of the boundaryless career attitude in affecting organisational commitment among public accountants in Penang, Malaysia.
